I may well be new(ish) to all the "drum vids on youtube" caper.....but when it comes to the village idiots....sorry....expert village, christ knows I'm still searching for answers.

There's the occasional one that isn't actually painful to watch, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnt-Jiphlsk Not much of any kind of a lesson, but a decent solo, and good advice to wear ear protection. Thats about as good as expertvillage gets, sort of ok :P haha

Ha ha, guys it really is a joke. The guy's a keyboard player, I believe. Anyway he's a real musician, he's just not a drummer and he did this as a satire, a prank. I'm pretty sure I read that right here on DW in an old thread. I know I've read that somewhere if not here. I'd look it up but I've never been able to figure out how to locate old threads.

That in turn begs the question, are all the expert village vids a joke?

It's unfortunate that this confirmed joke, is so par for the 'Expert Village' course. He's not the only vid out of their lot that has left me scratching my head. So it's either a very well placed satire.....or collective "muppetery". :-)
